Common Causes of Foundation Issues Leading to House Levelling

Soil Erosion: Erosion can wash away the soil supporting your foundation.

Poor Construction: Improperly compacted soil or faulty designs leads to uneven settling.

Water Damage: Moisture from plumbing leaks, flooding, or poor drainage weaken the foundation.

Expansive Soil: Certain types of soil, like clay, expand when wet and shrink when dry.

Tree Roots: Roots from large trees near the house can grow under the foundation, lifting and breaking it.

Ground Movement: Natural ground movement, including earthquakes and sinkholes, can shift the foundation.

Settling or Shifting Soil: Over time, soil naturally settles and shifts.

Aging Foundation: Older homes may have foundations that have deteriorated over time.
